Overall we can group locations and other attributes into different spatial areas. For mapping many projects the exact location is not know or is not needed/wanted for a range of obvious reasons. This set of functions takes the location information from each of the datasets and creates a uniform location entry that aligns with the desired spatial scale.
This constitutes one of the challenges that is unique to a small collection of areas which are small and surrounded by much larger states and districts.
The raw data has the following location variables of interest:
Rows: 225
Columns: 12

Here I have created for groups: North Canberra, Central Canberra,…..
This is the grouping variable for location provided by the ACT website. This information is helpful but needs to be filtered to check that every Suburb matches a Postcode?
There are xx postcodes in the ACT. we can associate each one of these with a suburb?
From ABS package
This package allows aspects of this data to be linked with census and other data resources associated with this level of geo-spatial identification.
LGA_2016 equates to total of ACT
All current locations in cases
Overall we can group locations and other attributes into different spatial areas. Here I have created for groups: North Canberra, Central Canberra,…Manual grouping into four general areas….
